Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' on display

Adam Smith statue
by Alexander
Stoddart.

Visitors to the National Library in August can see a small
display of books and letters relating to Adam Smith. The display
was opened on the day a statue of the 18th-century Scottish
philosopher and economist was unveiled on Edinburgh's Royal
Mile.

On show are several editions of Smith's most celebrated work,
'The Wealth of Nations', including foreign translations. We also
reveal correspondence between Smith and another 'giant' of the
Scottish Enlightenment, philosopher David Hume.
